JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash?

I am considering purchasing some, do they really sound better than the standards? How about the "gold" and the like?

The prices are half decent and I like that they are in Canada so I don't have to pay huge at the border. Although they do cost way more that other cd's.. Thanks for the tip. Have you found any other Canadian online retailers that sell XRCD2's? Please let me know
